nection with the Institution. If he fail to pay his tuition- at the time

privileges; but he shall be subject to such laws as the Faculty may 
make binding upon him, during such suspension, and ishall be re- 
quired diligently, to prosecute the studies of his class.

shall be communicated to any Student or Students, except by a vote 
of that body, the President concurring.

sary, and furnish him a return three weeks before the close of each 
session, showing what items of damage have been done by known 
Students. 

8. Every member of the Faculty shall use his utmost exertions to 
carry into full effect all the laws of College. 

9. An exemplary regard to moral obligations is indispensably re- 
quired of every officer of College. 

10. At the beginning of each session, and as much oftener as the 
President may appoint, there shall be a meeting of the Faculty, at 
which each officer shall be assigned his part of the course of instruc-

Trustees, the deficiencies, incompetency, mal-administration, or un- 
officer-like conduct of any Instructor, when in his judgment the case 
requires it, either from the magnitude of a, single act, or the fre- 
quent occurrence of small delinquencies. 

6. He has the right to be present at the recitation of any class, 
and to conduct the recitation if he choose.

Students may take with this course, either the Latin or Greek 
languages, without additional charge. 

In addition to recitations in the various branches enumerated 
ahqve, the classes attend to lectures and experiments on various por- 
tions of the course, and exercises in Oratory, both private and public. 

Compositions or translations required from every student, once a 
month throughout the course. 

Declamations by every student, once a month. 

The object of the whole system of instruction is not to carry a 
few branches of study to a great extent, nor on the contrary, to give 
a superficial knowledge of almost everything; but to commence a tho- 
rough and liberal course, and prosecute it as far as the time allows 
It is hoped thus to foster a general symmetry of character, and bring 
all \]ie mental powers into due exercise. It is not intended to qual- 
ify young men for and particular pursuit in life, but so to develope 
and instruct their minds, as to prepare them for the study of any pro- 
fession. 



9 

IV.— HOURS OF STUDY. 

1. The hours of study shall be established by the Faculty, from 
time to time, at their discretion, subject to the approval of the Trus- 
tees. 

2. From the first of October to the first of April, study hours shall 
be from 9 to 12 o'clock in the forenoon, from 2 to 5 in the afternoon, 
and from 6 to 9 in the evening. During the remainder of the 
year, from 8 to 11 in the forenoon, from 2 to 5 in the afternoon, 
and from 7 to 9 in the evening. 

3. During these hours, every student is required to apply himself 
with diligence to his prescribed duties and pursuits; and such of the 
time as is not devoted to recitations, he shall remain in his room. 

4. Students shall not collect together in any recitation room be- 
fore the appointed time, nor remain there after the exercises are 
closed, without permission.

gins on the following Monday, and closes at Commencement. 

3. There shall be a recess of one week, beginning on the day be- 
fore Christmas. 

4. No Student shall leave town in term time, without permission 
from the President. 

(gjr It is of great consequence that Students return to College in 
time to attend the first recitations or lectures of their class. An 
absence of a few days, when a new branch of study is begun, seldom 
fails to produce subsequent embarrassment, and sometimes the loss 
is not made up during the course. 

VI.— DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES. 

1. Every Student shall attend the daily devotional exercises in the 
College Chapel, at the hours appointed by the Faculty, and conduct 
with becoming gravity and reverence, during the whole service, and

public worship, on the Lord's day, in the Baptist church, in George- 
town, or in such other house of worship, as their parents or guar- 
dians may designate; and such evidence of punctual attendance shall 
be given, as the Faculty may require. 

3. It is enjoined upon all the Students to "Remember the Sabbath 
day, to keep it holy, and to avoid on that day every thing inconsist- 
ent with its religious observance. 

4. There shall be kept a bill of attendance upon daily yrayers, by 
monitors appointed for the purpose; and all absences reported week- 
ly to the President.

mencement. Aftefthe President has inspected and approved the 
written exercise of any member of the class, he may have leave of

character and attainments be such as to merit the distinction.

Student, until all bills of such Student shall have been discharged in 
full, and the Treasurer's receipt shown to the President.

presence of a committee of examination, appointed by the Trus- 
tees, and such other persons as may choose to attend.

please, remove him without exposure. 

6. Probation is the putting of a Student upon his good behavior 
for a specified time; during which, should he be guilty of any un-

ture usefulness to their country, the Trustees will, at their discre-

timonials of indigence, morality, and good talents.

of superiority, of which proper notice shall be given to the classes

approved by the Trustees, before a public announcement is made. — 
Dissertations presented for a prize, shall be accompanied by a sealed

cessful candidates, whose names shall be placed on the records of 
the Trustees.

cost of repair shall be assessed on all the Students alike, and be in- 
serted on the term bill as "General Damages."

amine all the College property at least once a month, and see that 
all damage is properly repaired, and waste prevented. He shall

five per cent, commision.
